CloudSec Hero to Zero: Self-Obsolescing Through Prolific Efficiency
summary
Claim: 90% of cloud incidents follow a small set of attack sequences (exposed creds, public buckets, misconfig) and simple fixes buy time. Deploy a CSPM (Prowler/security hub/any free scanner), enable provider Telemetry (GuardDuty, IdP logs, Okta), run secret scanning and SBOMs, rotate old access keys, and triage via Simple Triage and Rapid Remediation (START) into Immediate / Delayed / Minor / Expectant. Build guardrails (policies, automated remediation, Jira ticket flows) and measure via one‑week operational sprints.
